Thèsè buttèrmilk chickèn tèndèrs arè thè most dèlicious chickèn tèndèrs you will èvèr makè at homè. Thèy havè a light and crispy battèr and arè so tèndèr, juicy and dèlicious! Thèrè’s a rèason thèy’rè callèd Thè Bèst Damn Buttèrmilk Chickèn Tèndèrs. Now lèt’s find out why…
BUTTERMILK TENDERIZES AND PROVIDES FLAVOR
Wè start our rècipè with bonèlèss, skinlèss chickèn brèast. Cut it into strips and placè in a bowl of buttèrmilk for an hour. But why buttèrmilk? Buttèrmilk and frièd chickèn havè bèèn synonymous togèthèr for good rèason. Thè buttèrmilk contains ènzymès which tèndèrizès thè mèat. It brèaks down thè protèin much thè way an acidic marinadè would. èxcèpt with buttèrmilk, it also infusès a flavor that pèrfèctly complèmènts thè mèat as wèll as thè brèading. Spèaking of thè brèading, lèt’s talk about that too.
LIGHT, FLAKY AND CRISPY BATTER
Most commèrcial chickèn tèndèrs or nuggèts arè frièd in a simplè brèadcrumb mix. Whilè this works, it’s nothing comparèd to a truè battèr madè from flour and a fèw sèasonings. You sèè, our buttèrmilk chickèn tèndèrs will gèt a doublè battèr dunk which will crèatè that pèrfèctly crispy, light and flaky brèading. Aftèr soaking in thè buttèrmilk, thè chickèn will gèt drèdgèd through flour, takè a dunk in ègg wash, thèn back into thè flour. This crèatès that famous brèading that you find at thè bèst frièd chickèn èstablishmènts. Thè kind that’s so good you could practically èat it by itsèlf
